Re: Joshua Adcock

Elaine:I don't have info on a Joshua in Chatham Co., but I have a little info on Joshua Adcock who lived in Caswell Co. during the late 1700's (He lived in the part of Caswell Co. which is now eastern Person Co. in St. David's District, which is the current Mt. Tirzah district of Person County where I now live), and just a few miles west of the many Adcocks who lived in Granville Co. during the same time period.In the 1784 census, Edmond Adcock lived in the same district:Edmond-3 males under 20 or over 60 (none 21-60), 7 females all ages; Joshua-1 male 21-60, 4 males under 20, 2 females all ages; Pierce Adcock (I did not write down individuals in his household).In about 1790 this district became Person County, but since my direct line did not come from these Adcocks, I did not check the 1800 Person County records.There was a John Adcock in Caswell also, same district, in one record for 1784.The Johns in Granville County, however, still lived in Granville County.The next time I go to the Person Courthouse, I will check land deed records.This may or may not be the Joshua you are looking for.
